My big thing that scared me to distraction as a child wasn't a movie, but one of those late night horror movie shows on our local channel. The theme music! Oh my god!!! Just the first few notes would send me into a screaming fit. Of course I always wanted to sit up watch the movies with my older brother, so he would have to turn the volume down to keep me from waking up the entire house every Saturday night. Still makes my bowels shaky.

I found Monster actually a tad scary the first time I saw it, mainly because of the scene where the monster chews up the woman on the beach. I was also terrified of Rawhead Rex and The Being when I was younger.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space. I loved clowns untill I saw this movie it scared the crap out of me. Little SHop of Horrors loved this movie but that giant freaking plant scared me as did Childs Play. I had a My Little Buddy Doll which I buried in the backyard after seeing this movie.

Have you checked to see if it's still there?

I can't I have long since moved soemwhere else besides if I remember correctly my parents found out and made me dig it back up.

I have never liked it when people called horror movies scary movies. Poltergeist is one of the rare exceptions, and I will still call it a scary movie, because it is scary. Even though it holds no surprises for me anymore (I've seeen it plenty of times), it is still eerie enough to pull me in and keep me on the edge of my seat. The clown, the tree, the spectacular stuff, and then the low key stuff, like the little girl talking to the static on the TV in the dark room... it's all very creepy.

Caltiki, The Immortal Monster, gave me nightmares for months, funny thing, it didn't bother me as a movie when I was awake, but the nightmares made me wake up in a sweat. They were of the "OH GEEZ, THIS ISN'T A DREAM!!" variety.

E.T.! He still scares me, seriously. God, he's so damn scary. Hmm..when I was younger, I watched The Thing and i guess i got real scared ( i was watching it with my dad, he said i got real scared and was breathing heavy and everything, but i dont remember that). Those are just a couple that stick out right now. I can watch most anything now though, except E.T. stills scares me. and other alien movies, but ESPECIALLY e.t., he's like, gonna kill me in my sleep.

Two I can think of: Prophecy and one scene in Superman 3 (the scene where that lady gets pulled into the computer and comes out covered in metal parts). Prophecy gave me nightmares when I was a kid. That scene at the camp ground really stuck with me a long time... I kept having dreams of being chased amongst the trees :P
